Croissants are butter-heavy with little nutritional benefit for pets. The high fat content may trigger pancreatitis or loose stool. Filled versions with chocolate, almond paste, or cream are riskier than plain.
Croissants are laminated pastries made by folding butter into yeast dough to create thin flaky layers, sold plain, filled, and in frozen dough form.
Found at bakeries, in grocery packs, and as breakfast or snack items. Pets encounter them through breakfast leftovers, sandwich scraps, or pastry crumbs.
Filled croissants may add chocolate, almond paste, custard, cheese, or sweet glazes. Packaged shelf croissants often include preservatives and added sugars.
